SAN Francisco, June S.--The Can
sdian Pacific has taken measures to
com pete with its American rivals Tor
the Chinese trade in tea, silk and other
commodities, and is now bidding to
secure the subsidy offered by the New
Zealand government for transport
ing mail matter through to England.
The contract is now held by the
Oceanic steamship company, who, with
the steamships Alameda and Mariposa
make the long voyage across the IA
eific carrying mails between New Zea-
land and England in thirty-two to
thirty-three days The Canadian road
has made II bid offering to run a
steamer and connecting trains ut such
a rate OF speed that mails will reach
their destination in thirty
days, reduction OF forty-cight
hours in time made by
Spreckles' steamers. 1t has been
suggested that time could be saved by
leaving the mails at San Diego and
forwarding them east by the southern
lines. By this means it is estimated
that twcnty.four hours in through
time can be saved. The agent for the
New Zealand government in this city
has sent communication to his gov
eminent reciting the advantages OF
San Diego as calling place for the
steamers.
At a meeting of the transcontinen-
tai railway lines in this city to-day 1t
was decided to obtain the authority OF
the eastern trunk lines to cut such OF
the Canadian Pacific and Pacific mail
rates as is deemed advisable without
first notifying them rs is rendered
necessary by the present arrangement.
1t is not improbable that in
view OF the utterances OF rail-
way officials that a supplemental
rate sheet will be issued in n few days
announcing rates. The question of
the Canadian Pacific and Pacific mail
competition is discussed at length,
and also the advisability of meeting 1t.
One agent disinclined to meet compe-
tition to any extent, alleging that any
such attempt will only lead to lower
cuts on the part of their competitors.
However, it was decided that an effort
would be made to prevent this compe-
tition extending to anything but Cali
fornia commodity shipments.

APATHY AMONG BIDDERS.

WASHINGTON, June S.-Although
the plans for the hulls OF the nineteen
knot cruisers authorized to be built by
the last congress have been open to in
spection of bidders since the first of
June. but one application has been
received for information as to details
of the proposed new vessels. This was
sent by the Union iron warks, OF San
Francisco, where cruiser is now
building. Chief Engineer Melville ar
rived to-day from Philadelphia and re-
ports fast progress in the work OF de-
signing engines and boilers for the
nineteen-knot vessels.
GOOD SUGGESTION.
Ell. Baker, United States consul at
Buepos Ayres, in his monthly report
to the department of state, treats in
great detail of the native sheep OF the
Argentine Republic and the value and
practicability of introducing them
into this country. Consul Baker
thinks that all the varieties could be
domesticated with advantage in the
desert portions of Texas, New Mexico
and Arizona, and thus the most un-
promising portions of these territories
might in time attain to development
through the valuable woods which these
animals afford, while in other parts Of
the country wherever ordinary sheer
may be produced the introduction and
acclimatization of these valuable WOO
producing animals would give us 9
new national source Of wealth.

"The Era OF Good Feeling

In recent issue of the Memphis Appcal
we find an able editorial entitled 1.-THE Era
Of Good Feeling" The editor starts out
with the cheerful announcement that 'there
is no party bitterness in the south"-a
statement that is squarely contradlcted by
the notorious facts OF the political sltua-
tion.
"So long as the Republican party was
organized the whites were forced to com
bine to protect themselves from the rule OF
the adventurers who have arrayed the
blacks against the whites" says the 1ppedi.
But" he continues, "wlth the disappear
ance Of the Republican party In the south
there has been a change Of front. There
is no Republican organization In several of
the southern states-and now that the white
tax.paying people are no longer meuaced
with the rule Of those who when they had
the power, saddled upon the backs of the
people heavy debt, there is no party bit.
terness In the south. Indeed, party hate
has been supplanted by the era OF good
feeling"
IL this subject were not ill.suited TO levity
this sort Of talk would be provocative of
laughter. 1t means, simply, that when the
majority ruled the minority ''were forced
to combine" In kukluX klans, rife compa-
MES, and other night.ridiny associations of
assassins "to protect themselves" from the
rule Of the majority. Having put the Re-
publican party down by murder and other
gentle means 'there has come change OF
'front.'" and "the era of good feelingn has
dawned
The appeal goes on to declare that "there
is no ostracism in the social circle on ac.
count OF politics. Democrats and Repub-
licans recognize no differences In society
circles. The southern public mind has
turned from the old worn issues to other
and more vital interests-issues which con.
cern the material interests of the south.
The great question, the peoples prosperity,
constitutes the politics of the southern
people. With the disappearance of the
Republican party has disappeared the
hatreds eDgendered by the reconstruction
era.n
From this 1t appears that, although the
Republican party has disappeared, there are
Republicans still in that section! And SO
long as these Republicans don't attempt to
reunite In a party they will be tolerated
